Riverside Arts
Guide no 111b
"The best exhibition we've seen this year at Cambridge Open Studios"
is a wonderful comment left by one of our visitors last year!
Riverside Arts is a group of artist makers exhibiting annually
as part of Cambridge Open Studios (www.camopenstudios.org) at
Rick Forward's New from Old furniture workshop in Little Ouse.
Visitors to our Open Studio on weekends 11/12th and 18/19th July
will discover a wealth of
small scale furniture and sculpture,
paintings, sketchbooks and greeting cards
many of which explore place, both Fenland and abroad,
tapestry weavings of the sky, land and water scapes in the Fens,
Netherlands and further afield
letterpress prints on a range of themes.
This year the artist makers exhibiting with Riverside Arts are
Caroline Forward, painter
Inspired by coastal geology, my paintings explore constant change and loss in an environment, what is left behind, preserved or re-formed over centuries
Rick Forward, sculptor
In the process of transitioning to full time sculptor,
I aim to design pieces that either defy function or are purely sculptural.
Gordon Chesterman, letterpress printer
See an old press printing huge posters and
admire a great variety of posters and prints on display.
Ditty Dokter, tapestry weaver
This year I have further incorporated my experience of fungi and forests into the weaving, as well as continuing to be inspired by the Fens
Julie Baker, painter
Paintings of skies and fen exploring mood and atmosphere, texture and space
Homemade cakes and liquid refreshments will be on offer,
and there is easy parking in this beautiful riverside location.
We really look forward to welcoming you to our exhibition!
